Latest Patents
Among his latest patents, Melcher has developed a method and apparatus for the high-temperature treatment of fine-grained particulate metal ore concentrate solids. This invention utilizes a cyclone with a tangentially positioned burner that directs a jet flame into the cyclone. An ore injecting nozzle is strategically placed to inject a stream of ore mixed with oxygen-containing gas into the jet flame, ensuring that the particles are melted without abrasively impacting the cyclone walls in an unmelted state. Another notable patent involves a method and apparatus for the pyrometallurgical treatment of fine-grained solids, such as non-ferrous metal ore concentrates. This method mixes solids with an oxygen-containing gas to form a suspension, which is then blown through a nozzle into a reaction chamber, allowing for effective melting and reaction of the solids.
